A Buggy Race was set up by Xedos and alisha, that took you on a fantastic trip across Jazz History! If you haven't yet, and it is still up, give it a try! It was great fun 🙂 Thanks you two for a job well done!

Everyone who finished the race was entered in a drawing. Those winners and prizes are: ZMW Jazz Blues Festival 2006 Buggy, donated to us by ZachC, was won by Jane_Austen! And for the fastest time in the race, thoreau won the Inferno Yoshibike, donated by Yoshistoshi. Thanks to both of you for your donations! Very generous thing to do!

Congrats to the winners!

Jane_Austen provided us with "Austen's Art Gallery", showcasing all the marvelous works of Jazz / Blues and musical abstracts reflecting on the Gulf Coast and the contributions they made to Jazz/Blues on the world! Great show Jane, thanks!

Saturday's event started with_KC bringing Norah Jones and then CAM71 gave us more Stevie Ray Vaughn, there were shoutcast stations playing the best of Jazz and Blues along the funzone! Aha, yes even I got up and "giggled" to the audience with some music tracks by Joss Stone! Too much Fun 😀

60 people attended the daytime event!

After 74 people came to the evening event on Saturday, I'm sorry to say we had to cancel the remainder of the evening, due to technical difficulties. However, … that didn't stop us! We returned on Sunday with a BANG!

Sunday's daytime event had 67 people show up to hear the great music and join in on the activities of the weekend! We heard "Live" performances from Xedos, wow, you really sound great! Banshee_Kate, you always do such a great job! and David_E_MD this was my first chance to hear you, and I loved it! You were all Fantastic! Thanks so much 🙂

They were all fantastic!!!! (*flicks lighter)

Teknomage put on a Buggy Show, of a few her very RARE and Collectible buggies!

Though she could have filled Steadman, she stopped dropping them, after about 30 or so,… as she didn't want to bring the world to a screetching hault!

Thanks for the show Tek! GREAT collection!

More entertainment was provided by Sissimaid, With a hilarious Slapstick Comedy and Dance routine, as well as airing selections of the late great Nat King Cole! (good stuff)!

The last hour of the show, was "Open Mic"! Now that was really fun!

CapeCodBob jumped up on stage to bring us a song of his homeland. Also joining in on the opportunity to share the spotlight was alisha, whose voice is so sweet, aztec3 and GrafVonSchnitzl All playing tracks of their favorites!

Thanks to you all, it was really cool! 'TU!
